Zeta Relic Advantage

[Spawnie]

The pre-zodiac relics can look a bit over the top, but I find the Zodiacs/Zeta to look nice (Excalibur is still a bit too much for some). I finished up Novus to Zeta during term break though, I had a lot of time but even if you split that up moderately I don't think it'll take you until 4.0 unless you have some real bad luck.

Yoichi Bow was the only skin in the relic quest line that i actually liked lol the previous skins were just ._.

Stuff like this is what prevents people from enjoying the game. "No matter what I do now is gonna be trashed in the expansion so might as well stop now or...just come back for the expansion". It is honestly a shame. Someone should really come up with a way to add new content without trashing peoples' progress, all this is doing is further frustrate and discourage the already overly tedious grind this game offers. Even though I'm still subscribed because SE is my favourite company and I have a lot of admiration for Yoshida and what his DEV team did for this game, I must admit I haven't even stepped on FFXIV for at least 2 months for this exact reason.

Unfortunately that's the nature of vertical progression. Current equipment can't stay viable forever or else there'd never be a reason to go get the newest stuff.

Unfortunately this will never change as SE know the expansion "reset" is what brings back many people who are not current with the game.

It's going to be interesting to see what advantage you get with the Zeta, my monies on the base weapon idea above.

Not that this has any bearing on the topic here, but I actually glamoured over the relic. Someone actually commented as to why I have the Novus shield and not the sword. Obviously didn't use the "examine" function.

A NIN in my raid group actually glamoured over his Sasuke Blades Zeta with Yoshimitsu Animus because he likes the color of the Animus glow better.

Yes.....yes that means he did the Atma/Animus stages a 2nd time to achieve this....

-.-

lol


edit: To actually contribute to the thread...I think that the "advantage" we will get is to use our Zeta as a base for our new weapons and inheriting the secondary skills that we added to them. If we don't at least get that, I'm not sure I will do another relic. Too much time/gil invested to watch it just get thrown away for more accuracy or skill speed...

Now that's dedication to glamour...

There's only guessing sofar, no real information from reliable sources.

So far I've read (all from peoples quessing) that it might range from just an achivement and title to a headstart in the new Relic weapon questline.

It'll give you a .00005% increase on droprate on whatever ridiculous RNG grind they decide to implement.

I agree if when the new relic comes out we don't get to use our zeta for a base and inherit our secondary stats I don't know if I will do another relic weapon. I would hate to see my work on my smn weapon get trashed and my secondary stats revert back to spell speed and acc.

All we know is that those who have finished their relic will be "taken into consideration", which could literally mean anything, including a complimentary set of pink dye or the title "Grind Master". People keep using the word "advantage", even though the developers haven't used that term themselves. "Advantage" and "taken into consideration" can have quite different meanings.

Knowing SE's love of such items, they'll probably just offer relic owners the option to trade in their zeta weapon for a display-weapon to mount on the wall of the house you'll never own.
